- * Sandbox front door E2E — #2757.
- *
- * Walks the funnel the compare pages advertise: comparison CTA → sandbox →
- * rendered FSMA 204 diagnosis for a sample FTL chain.
- *
- * The sandbox evaluator is an experimental router (server/main.py
- * _EXPERIMENTAL_ROUTERS) and is auto-disabled in production, so this spec
- * probes it at runtime and asserts the correct behaviour for whichever state
- * the target deployment is in:
- *
- *   mounted    → CTA lands on /sandbox and the sample CSV evaluates end to end.
- *   unmounted  → CTA lands on /demo, no page promises a CSV sandbox, and a
- *                direct visit to /sandbox explains itself instead of 404ing.
- *
- * Either way the invariant under test is the one #2730 broke: CTA copy and CTA
- * destination must agree.
